What we do
The Atalaya PTA is non-profit group that helps to build a sense of community among parents, teachers and students. We organize social events, family-oriented activities, and collaborative projects that bring people together. This sense of community fosters a supportive network, promotes school spirit, and strengthens the overall school culture.
A big part of what we do is also supporting our teachers and school. We help fund school programs and enrichment activities that are not included in the school’s budget, award teacher grants for special projects, help provide classroom supplies, fun field trips, provide teacher stipends, and more!
We fund Class Traditions (Grade level enrichment activities):
– Kinder – info coming soon
– 1st Grade – Wise Fool
– 2nd Grade – Acequias
– 3rd Grade – NDI (National Dance Institute)
– 4th Grade – Wise Fool
– 5th Grade – Starbase
– 6th Grade – end of the year camping trip!
The Grade-Level Traditions Program at Atalaya Elementary aims to provide each grade level with a unique and memorable enrichment experience. The Traditions Program is in development, with the goal of having a class “tradition” for every grade level.
